changing part of html file

[Anon]

Hi,

i want to change a part of a html file.

In a html file i have some text that i wish to change. the text is between to tags. <coding> </coding> or so.

How can i do that.

Thanks in advance.

I suggest you make the text a variable. Then put it in between the tags:

<code> <?php print $text ?> </code>

But of course, for the text to change the varibale must be assigned a new value and the page must be reloaded. This could be done with the user submitting a form (the $text variable could be a hidden input in this form) or by refreshing the page using a meta tag, but then you'd have to send the variable along with the URL.

We'll try something...

$file = "myfile.html";
$fp = fopen($file, "r");
$file_content = fread($fp, filesize($file));
fclose($file_content);
$file_content_tolower = strtolower($file_content);
$start_tag = "<coding>";
$end_tag = "</coding>";
$start_tag = strtolower($start_tag);
$end_tag = strtolower($end_tag);
$start_pos = strpos($file_content_tolower, $start_tag);
$end_pos = strpos($file_content_tolower, $end_tag);
if($start_pos === false || $end_pos === false) {
// <coding> and/or </conding> were not found
echo "HTML file is not valid !\n";
} else {
// both <coding> and </coding> were found
$start_pos = $start_pos + strlen($start_tag);
$beginning_of_file = substr($file_content, 0, $start_pos);
$end_of_file = substr($file_content, $end_pos);
$new_coding_content = "--- THE NEW TEXT TO INSERT BETWEEN <coding> and </coding> ---";
$new_file_content = $beginning_of_file . $new_coding_content . $end_of_file;
$fp = fopen($file, "w");
fputs($fp, $new_coding_content);
fclose($fp);

Hope it helps !
}

Thank you. That was the one.
I've changed line 5 in
fclose($fp);

and line 23 in:
fputs($fp, $new_file_content):

I Thought that was the right routine.
Again thank you.
